SECTION 2 Evaluating Laser Printers The high-end of black and white network printing demands exceptional productivity and reliability. This is often referred to as the “departmental segment”, where users require high-performance printers with support for the broadest array of paper sizes, including A3.
EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY To handle departmental levels of activity a printer has to be fast, not just in print engine specs but in real world use. Consider first page out time, engine speed including high resolution printing speed and double sided printing speed to get a true picture of real-world throughput capabilities. Consider the power behind the speed.
EVALUATE RELIABILITY The volume demands on a departmental printer can be very high. Consider the life expectancy of a printer as well as its peak volume capability. Consider uptime. Does the printer provide warnings for low supplies or other potential productivity blockers? Are there intelligent alternatives to a service call? How easy is it to replace are the routine maintenance items such as the imaging drum and fuser? Finally, look at how the manufacturer stands behind the product.
EVALUATE COST-OF-OWNERSHIP Initial cost of a printer is just one part of what your costs will be over the life of the printer. Consider cost per page. Even tiny costs per page add up when you’re considering printing millions of pages over time. Consider service costs. Being able to budget your future service expenses is helpful and buying an Extended Service Agreement for a low fixed cost just makes good business sense.
